	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SCR 82, Chesbro.  California State University.
   This measure would request the Trustees of the California State
University to conduct an initial needs analysis with respect to the
possible establishment of joint and collaborative programs in
Crescent City utilizing the existing facilities of the College of the
Redwoods, and the purpose of which would be to continue to offer
education programs at the upper division and graduate levels.




   WHEREAS, It is the intent of the Legislature that public programs
of postsecondary education be made available to qualified persons
throughout this state, including areas of substantial existing or
projected population that are isolated from any campus of the
California State University; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
concurring, That the Legislature requests the Trustees of the
California State University to conduct an educational needs demand
assessment in Crescent City to be served by California State
University, Humboldt.  The assessment shall include, but not be
limited to, joint and collaborative programs that utilize the
existing facilities of the College of the Redwoods and other
approaches the purpose of which would be to continue to offer
educational programs at the upper division and graduate levels; and
be it further
   Resolved, That the Legislature requests the trustees to review the
results of the assessment and, if they deem appropriate, work with
California State University, Humboldt, to expand, enhance, or create
new upper division and graduate level opportunities in the
communities in its service area, including facilities of the College
of the Redwoods, extension programs, and other approaches.  The
California State University is requested to report the results of
this process to the Legislature during the budget deliberations for
the 2001-02 fiscal year.
